1⃣ NOVENA TO ST. THÉRÈSE OF THE CHILD JESUS AND OF THE HOLY FACE
DAY 8 - SEPTEMBER 29
O glorious St. Therese, who, burning with the desire of increasing the glory of God, invariably attended to the sanctification of your soul by the constant practice of prayer and charity so that, becoming in the Church a model of holiness, you are now in Heaven the protector of all those who have recourse to you in faith, look down upon me who invokes your powerful patronage and join your petition to mine that I be granted the favour I seek in this novena...
(State your intentions here...)
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...
PRAYER: O St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus, who during your short life on earth became a mirror of angelic purity, of love strong as death, and of wholehearted abandonment to God, now that you rejoice in the reward of your virtues, cast a glance of pity on me as I leave all things in your hands. Make my troubles your own, speak a word for me to Our Lady Immaculate, whose flower of special love you were -- to that Queen of Heaven “who smiled on you at the dawn of life.” Beg her powerful intercession the grace I yearn for so ardently at this moment...and that she join with it a blessing that may strengthen me during life, defend me at the hour of death, and lead me straight on to a happy eternity.
O God, who did inflame with the Spirit of Love, the soul of your servant Thérèse of the Child Jesus, grant that we also may love you and make you much loved. Amen.
St. Therese of the Child Jesus: Pray for us!

2⃣ NOVENA TO THE GUARDIAN ANGELS
DAY 7 - SEPTEMBER 29
Loving God, you are so good that you gave me a Guardian Angel to protect my body and my soul. Help me to know and follow my angel so that, with their guidance, I will be worthy of being in Heaven with You!
My sweet Guardian Angel, you are my intercessor every day of my life. Speak for me to the Lord. Ask Him to help me see His loving face. Speak to him about my life and whisper my prayers into his ear so that I may be the person that God is calling me to be.
You are with me all the time so you already know these my intentions that I ask you to deliver to the Lord.
(State your intentions here...)
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...
My Guardian Angel, my Intercessor, Speak for me! Amen.

3⃣ NOVENA TO ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI
DAY 5 - SEPTEMBER 29
OPENING PRAYER: Holy Saint Francis, through your kind intercession we seek holiness above all things. We seek the faith, hope and love that allowed you to joyfully renounce the pleasures of earthly life and to radically follow our Lord Jesus Christ. Pray for us that we enjoy the privilege of suffering with and for the poor in the example of Jesus. Help us to be always grateful for all the blessings we have received and the strength to overcome our most pressing concerns, especially…
(State your intentions here...)
Blessed St. Francis, when you were blessed with the decision to serve our Lord, you abandoned everything and surrendered yourself totally to God's will. Obtain for us the same trust in God, that the Holy Spirit may guide our every thought, word and deed.
CONCLUDING PRAYER: St. Francis, help us in praying for the grace to truly repent for our sins and actively seek reconciliation with God. May the blessings we obtain through your intercession deepen our faith, and inspire us to store treasures in Heaven, where we hope to spend eternity with the Almighty Father. Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...
St. Francis of Assisi: Pray for us!

4⃣ NOVENA TO ST. MARIA FAUSTINA
DAY 4 - SEPTEMBER 29
HOPE
JESUS: Let the greatest sinners place their trust in My mercy. Souls that make an appeal to My mercy delight Me. To such souls I grant even more graces than they ask (Diary 1146).
ST. FAUSTINA: Even if I had the sins of the whole world, as well as the sins of all the condemned souls weighing on my conscience, I would not have doubted God's goodness but, without hesitation, would have thrown myself into the abyss of the divine mercy, which is always open to us; and with a heart crushed to dust, I would have cast myself at His feet, abandoning myself totally to His holy will, which is mercy itself (Diary 1552).
Saint Faustina, obtain for me unwavering hope so that, on my way to heaven, I may always count on God's forgiveness and the help of His grace in every situation, particularly in difficult moments.
(State your intentions here...)
Saint Faustina, obtain for me unwavering hope. Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...
St. Faustina: Pray for us!

5⃣ NOVENA TO OUR LADY OF THE ROSARY
DAY 2 - SEPTEMBER 29
O Mother Immaculate, Queen of the Rosary, we must learn to love those little beads. In every trial and sorrow they have always been a consolation to all who trust in you. Our joyful days are happier when you can share the things that cause delight. May your Rosary, O Mary my Mother, always be for me my strength in weakness, my peace in affliction, my comfort in day of doubt, my courage in time of trial, the consolation of all my days through all my life. May it be the steadying influence that I need when I find success and the support of my soul when failure marks my efforts. In all things, with childlike trust may I live my life, in peaceful union with your own, through the happy medium of the rosary and this favor that I so earnestly seek, (mention your request) which I ask of you in this novena, for the greater glory of God, for your own honor, and for the good of all people. Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...
Our Lady of the Rosary of Fatima, may true devotion to your Rosary quickly spread throughout the world.
Our Lady of the Rosary: Pray for us!
